Monitoring:
- Moved imports from *.proto folder to common.proto folder
- Removed monitoring's genproto.sh script

- support definition of KPISampleTypes per EndPoint in Context and Device
- improvements in definition of objects used for test cases
- adapted few values in unit tests
- updated gRPC-generated Python code for OpticalCentralizedAttackDetector

Common:
- Normalized report_coverage_*.sh scripts, and temporarily summarized results in device one for testing purposes.
- Adapted run_tests_locally.sh script for testing purposes
- Improved message synthesis of ServiceException

Context:

- DriverInstanceCache, DriverFactory: Added formatting of filter fields
- DataCache: solved minor bug
- DriverAPI test unit: corrected getconfig assertion check
- Device test unit: reimplemented, first complete test after component reworking
- DataCache/DeviceTools: solved several minor bugs
- DeviceServiceServicerImpl: added removal of drivers and endpoints when device is removed.
